pool heat exchangers, or heat pumps are one of the most efficient way of heating your swimming pool. A heat pump is effectively a large refrigerator, that is trying to reduce the temperature of the outside air, and the heat that it sucks out of the air is transfered in to the pool water. They work best in relativly higher air temperatures, and are very efficient as the small compressor pump uses only a small amount of power. The rating system for heat pumps is call COP (coefficient of performance) which is typically between 3 and 6, meaniing that foe every $1 you put into a cop6 heat pump you will get $6 of heat out.If used in conjuncion with photovoltaic panels to generate the power they require and the circulating pump the only cost is the initial captal cost to install them.
